Abstract

Molecular Profiling in Cancer: Research or Practice, Georgetown University Hotel and Conference Center, Washington, DC, USA, 6–7 December 2013 On the 6th and 7th of December 2013, the Ruesch Center for the Cure of Gastrointestinal Cancers (DC, USA) hosted its fourth annual symposium entitled Molecular Profiling in Cancer: Research or Practice. This topic was selected for the 2013 symposium because of the explosion of molecular profiling assays that are available to us as practicing oncologists, which are believed, by most, to be a significant advancement in cancer care innovation. The Ruesch Center has been hosting topical symposia for the last 4 years. We have focused on: biomarker use in cancer medicine (2010); defining value in cancer care (2011); how to engage the ‘other 97%’ of patients in clinical trial enrollment, when currently we capture only 3% of patients on average (2012); and, of course, molecular profiling in cancer care (2013).
